Backyard Gems, Part 2...

Well, I said I'd get some more pics of some rusting or unused old cars, so I did. These ones aren't as interesting as the other ones, but I'd still take some of them and I'm pretty sure you guys might too!

First up: Now this is BLING folks! I'd take one of these in a heartbeat! Not too common, looks different, nice and comfortable. What else matters? :D It's a Boattail Buick Riviera by the way.

Second up: Well well, it's another Boattail Riviera! This is what gives them the 'Boattail' addage though...

Third up: I told you guys that there were a million old Mustangs on my route, so here are a few of them that I took pictures of when I saw them. This one's a 69 Grande.

Fourth up: This is a VERY nice '67 Mustang, I saw it at a transmission shop not too long ago, so this one's not rusting away, but it's still pretty damned cool and I'd take it.

Fifth up: A 65-66 model, one of half a million of them, literally... It still has it's black license plates at least!

Sixth up: Another 65-66 Mustang...

Seventh up: A sweet assed old firebird, though I don't know the year, I think maybe 69?

Eight: A nice old 50s GMC truck. This looks to be in nice and restorable condition. Too bad I've not the time nor money...

Ninth up: An old T-bird rusting away in a field next to an airport... it's a shame really...

Tenth up: A sweet '67 GTO. Yeah I know it's not rusting away... but still...

Eleventh up: I think this is a 68 Le Mans, but I could be mistaken. Either Le Mans or GTO, I'd still take it. That'd make a killer Hot Rod.

Twelfth up: Well, it's an old Chevelle, but it's kinda jacked from the looks of it... dunno if I'd want it or not....possible basket case...

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/87538chevelle_2-med.jpg

Thirteen: A nice old Malibu Chevelle, I'd take it for the same reasons as the le mans...

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/87538Malibu_2-med.jpg

Fourteen: PIMP ALERT! Now this would be bling-a-licious to drive if it were decked out, don't you think? It's a Pontiac Catalina convertable by the way, you can't get a bigger boat other than an old Caddy...

Fifteen: I just had to put this one in here to make all Chevelle lovers cry...when rednecks become wannabe Harvicks...

Sixteen: I dunno if I'd want this or not, mostly 'not' I think. I just put it here because it's so rare to see one in this shape, (since American cars of the mid 70s were built to be 'disposable' and not long lasting it seems...) It's a Mustang II Cobra. (I think...)

Seventeen: A nice old Ranchero, It could be hot if you wanted to put some money into it. It kinda looks a bit 'grandpa-ized' at the moment.

Eighteen: I don't know if this is bullshit or not, but it's still kinda cool, I know I've seen an SS396 for real, (an old man was driving it and I tried to chase him down but ended up loosing him...), it's an SS 454 El Camino. Like I said, it's probably a clone, but you never know...

So that's it for now! I'll keep diamonds in the rough to post here.

Say it with me now! "IF I ONLY HAD THE MONEY!"

IF ONLY I HAD THE MONEY

heh nice pics man, and you have some damn nice cars in your area, i'll be looking forward to your new thread, the gems are allways nice to see ;)

pardon me if this has already been said, but where do you live again?!:eek7:

Red x's are bling-a-licious...alas, i couldn't see the last few pics but Chevelles, I love 'em. A friend of mine has such a B-E-A-UTIFUL green Chevelle that he's restored. Not sure what year but just hearing it...

pardon me if this has already been said, but where do you live again?!:eek7:

That would be Kern County in California, specifically in the city of Bakersfield. There's more land here in this county than the state of Delaware has, and there are a LOT of old cars around here like this. Nice desertlike and rust-free weather too...:D

Nice cars, thanks. Around here, all those cars would have disappeared around 1975, due to Mr. Saltee. Count yourself lucky to have such a variety.

Really?? Hmm.... just check my gallery then I guess, I don't know why they aren't showing up.... they do for me.

I have a really crappy comp so, yeah...

But I'm sure they're good. A neighbor has 3 of those Mustangs, '65-'66 models...yeah.....
